Construction of the Hawaii (SSN-776) hit a key milestone recently when the Sea Shuttle transported the 2B/5
module from Quonset Point to the Groton shipyard. At nearly 1,400 tons, the module is the largest Virginia-class
section ever shipped. See story on page 4.
A Message To EB Employees From John Casey
Dear Fellow Employee:
With the news that the Groton submarine
base is on the 2005 Base Realignment and
Closure list, Electric Boat has entered into a
period of uncertainty that will extend well
into the fall.
It’s not surprising that many of us reacted
to the announcement with surprise and
apprehension – the two organizations have
worked hand in glove for several decades and
over that period have established a close and
effective working relationship. I think we’ve
all become used to people outside the area
confusing the sub base with Electric Boat or
thinking the two are one and the same.
As a company, we’ve reacted strongly to the
proposed submarine base closing. The facility
is too valuable to shut down and we will support every effort to reverse the decision to
include the base on the BRAC list.
We have a significant presence at the base,
with more than 500 employees supporting the
Navy’s activities there. Additionally, both the
Navy and Electric Boat benefit from the synergies that arise from the proximity of submacontinued on page 3

Nursing Association Honors Rendeiro
For Professional Accomplishments
P
at Rendeiro (644) already had
reasons to be proud of her
career. She’s an Electric Boat
Distinguished Shipbuilder. She’s been a
nurse for more than half a century. She’s
touched the lives of countless EB employees over the years.
But this month, she was able to add
“Nightingale Award winner” to her list of
accomplishments.
Rendeiro, the Yard Hospital’s charge
nurse, received the award from the VNA
of Southeastern Connecticut, following
her nomination by EB Medical Director

Dr. Robert Hurley.
“It was an easy choice,” said Hurley. “I
can think of few individuals who would
embody the characteristics of the award
like Patricia Rendeiro.”
Established in 2001 by the VNA of
South Central Connecticut, the Nightingale Award has since become a statewide
program, with ceremonies hosted by four
regional VNAs each year.
“I am proud to be an occupational
health nurse and love my profession,”
said Rendeiro, who was feted with 55
other area nurses May 5 at the Mystic
Marriott. “My first priority has always
been hands-on nursing care.”
Attending the award ceremony were
members of Rendeiro’s family – husband
Joe and daughter Rosemary, an EB security officer – along with 30 other EB
employees.
“Receiving the Nightingale Award is a
wonderful honor that I will always treasure,” Rendeiro said. “The people at EB
are really special, and if I brought a little
sunshine into somebody’s life, that’s all I
wanted.”

rine producer to submarine operator.
Nevertheless, what I’ve said several
times over the last several months bears
repeating. If the base is eventually closed,
Electric Boat will remain in business. We
will be a very different business, but we
will remain a viable enterprise and the
leader in submarine design, construction
and life-cycle support.
In the meantime, until the BRAC
commission votes on its list, the most
effective course of action we can take is
to continue performing on our new construction work and our modernization
and maintenance jobs, both at the shipyard and at the base. This approach will
provide tangible evidence of the benefits
the Navy derives from the Electric
Boat/submarine-base relationship.
We have a significant backlog of Virginia-class submarines to build and the
conversions of four SSGNs to complete.
Additionally, opportunities are developing in other areas. For example, the joint
Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA)/Navy Tango Bravo
project has selected Electric Boat to perform work in three areas – shaftless
propulsion, external weapons and ship
infrastructure reduction.
Beyond that, our newly created Strategic Business Development organization
is developing strategies to capture new
business involving traditional and nontraditional customers and select adjacent
markets.
Over the last 15 years or so, working
in the submarine industry has been a
roller coaster ride, with more ups and
downs and twists and turns than I need

remind you. Despite some seemingly
insurmountable challenges, Electric Boat
has remained a viable business and
strengthened its position as the industry
leader.
Now we’re facing yet another challenge, one that requires all of us to pull
in the same direction. It’s our future
we’re talking about, and I’m confident
we have what it takes and will do what it
takes to sustain this company’s success.

Largest Virginia-Class Module Makes Voyage
From Quonset Point To Groton
O
ne evening a few weeks ago,
section 2B/5 for the Hawaii
(SSN-776) left Quonset Point
on the Sea Shuttle, arriving in Groton
the following morning. The memory of
more than two years of work won’t soon
depart, however. Every trade and all
three shifts at Quonset Point contributed
greatly to the successful manufacturing
of this module – the largest Virginiaclass module ever assembled.
“Quonset Point has always lived up to
any and all challenges,” said Tony Moniz
(915), Building 2003’s superintendent.
“This one ranks at or near the top, with
the loading of the AMR (Auxiliary
Machine Room) and Habitability modules along with added electrical and piping work.”
Thanks to the efforts of all employees
on SSN-776, Quonset Point will now
perform that same scope of work on
2B/5 for SSN-777.
“This is a great example of how outstanding performance enables us to
obtain more work,” said Moniz. “We can
now focus on new challenges.”
At nearly 100 feet long and weighing
nearly 1,400 tons, SSN-776 2B/5 featured
several firsts for Quonset Point, a great
team effort and plans to build the 2B/5
for SSN-777 and SSN-778 with even better results.
“I can only describe the people who
worked on this project as unbelievably
committed,” said Rick Phillips (915),
area superintendent. “No matter what
the task, no matter what shift, each
employee made a major contribution. I
couldn’t be more proud of their effort.”

cover of night, the off-shifts are the forgotten builders. But manufacturing a unit
of this magnitude requires the efforts of
more than one person, more than one
crew and more than one shift.
“We really pulled together across all
three shifts to get this module done,” said
Gary Slater (915), area superintendent on
second shift. “The entire facility worked
as a team – including the Building 60
side, which supported us throughout.”
“When I look at the overall effort and
the barriers we overcame, all employees
did a great job,” added Ed Guertin (915),
area superintendent on third shift. “We
really hit a home run.”
In December, QP received good news –
a substantial amount of work was to be
added to the 2B/5 project. The outstanding performance on the unit up to that
point was the reason for the additional
work.
With that much work to be done in a
matter of months, timing and scheduling
needed to be tackled, but perhaps the
most challenging piece was simply accessing the work.
Much of the work required accessing
outboard areas (between the AMR and
Hab modules and the outer hull).
“We were called to this unit (from Bay
1) because it was at the top of the priority list,” said Bill Magno (915), a thirdshift installation mechanic. “We
answered that call by working seven days
a week, 10 hours a day for six weeks.”
Magno added that they really didn’t
know what kind of trouble they would
have accessing the work. Great cooperation and precise planning by all involved
answered those concerns.
“Every time you went into the work
area, you had to think about how you
were going to get in there and how you
were going to get the job done,” added
John Kudrich (915), a first-shift installation mechanic. “It wasn’t as simple as
just walking in and going to work. Having said that, I feel pretty good about the
work we did on this unit,” he said.
“This work was tough, it really came
out of sequence, but we took it as it
came,” said Joe Murphy (915), secondshift foreman. “We need to continue this
type of great performance on these challenging projects to grow the business.”
The Next 2B/5
With SSN-777 and SSN-778 already
inside Building 2003 at different stages of
production, Quonset Point has an
opportunity to put plans in place that
will achieve enhanced performance.
“The great thing about building this
unit for 776 is that we have the 777 and
778 to build,” said John D’Ambrosia
(915), a first-shift foreman. “We can
really put some process improvements
and proper sequencing (creating and
planning for the work to be done in an
order that makes sense) in place to build
it even better.”
Keeping Up With The Cutting Edge,
Technology Area Teams Mark Their First Decade
E
lectric Boat’s Technology Area Teams are
celebrating their 10-year anniversary this
year, and team leaders say the groups are
more relevant than ever.
The TATs, as they are known, give every EB
department access to resident experts on a growing
number of subjects, particularly new and upcoming
technologies.
“The TATs keep an eye on what’s going on in the
outside world – what the universities are doing,
what the Navy labs are doing for far-reaching
research – and they figure out how it may be applicable to a submarine application,” explained principal engineer Tom Skrmetti (481), the TAT coordinator. “So they are really the point of the spear for
new technology business opportunities.”
Staff engineer Mark Bennett (481), program
manager for Independent Research and Development and one of the original TAT facilitators, said
EB formed the teams as part of its business process
re-engineering efforts of the mid-1990s. Only six
teams were established originally, but as technology
has evolved into new and different areas, he said, so
have the TATs.
“The TATs have helped coordinate our efforts
within various disciplines, such as acoustics,” Bennett said. “At the same time, they’ve allowed us to
better coordinate some of our research and development and get contracted R&D work.”
EB provides seed money to each of the TATs to
coordinate activities and pursue submarine-applicable R&D contracts from various outside facilities.
This, in effect, allows EB to stretch its R&D dollars.
Skrmetti said last year’s TAT activities resulted in
about $6 million worth of contracted work. “But
it’s more than just a return on investment,” he said.
“We’re also helping to set the stage for what’s going
to happen with the new submarine platforms.”
Principal engineer Tom Baker (449), leader of the
arrays and sensors TAT, said his group is now
working on a project for NAVSEA that seeks to
“drive the cost out of the ship,” in part by replacing
existing arrays with lower-cost ones, “some of
which have been developed through the TAT
process.”
Engineering project manager John Pavlos (481),
who heads a newly created TAT specializing in offboard vehicles, said the Navy is paying much more
attention to such vehicles, so it made sense for EB
to do so as well.
“The new team, which branched off from an
older one, is focused on how a submarine designed
and built at EB could support the use of off-board

vehicles for the Navy,” he said. “We’re
always trying to stay a little bit ahead of
the curve.”
Bennett said the TATs have had close
ties with EB’s Concept Formulation
group since the beginning, but they are
now interacting with other areas of the
company as well.
“Growing beyond CONFORM is a
big thing,” he said. “Technology is transportable, so there’s no reason why people
in, say, the process improvement side of
EB or the maintenance and modernization side couldn’t be utilizing and challenging these teams more.”
But make no mistake – the TATs’
bread and butter is shaping the submarine of the future.
“If we could put payloads and
weapons into boxes external to the hull,
we could get rid of the torpedo room,”
principal engineer and TAT leader
Marty Soifer (409) said of his undersea
weapons team’s most forward-looking
proposal. “We could get a far more efficient, less costly ship.
“The objective is to integrate new and
innovative weapons and launchers to
enable enhanced missions,” he continued. “That’ll keep the submarine relevant as we go into the future.”
Engineering Director Al Malchiodi
(409), who oversees the CONFORM
group, said the TATs have proven their
worth time and again, particularly in
their ability to quickly assess new technologies to determine whether such technologies would belong on a submarine.
“I lean on them very heavily to provide that quick assessment as we go forward, and they do it well,” he said.

our Electric Boat technologists
were honored earlier this
month at General Dynamics
seventh annual Technology Excellence
and Patent Awards Banquet held at the
Ritz Carlton Hotel in Pentagon City, Va.
Three of the Electric Boat honorees –
Al Franco, Daniel Kane and Michael
Salata (all of Dept. 444) – received a
patent for developing an electromagnetic
device called a flux shunt. This device is
installed on the rotating part of a permanent-magnet motor or generator and is
used to modify the air-gap magnetic field.
This technique reduces generator harmonics in the ship’s power grid and
reduces vibration in motors, resulting in
quieter motors and generators for submarines.
Additionally, Austin Alvarez (463)
took home a General Dynamics Technology Excellence Award for his contributions to Electric Boat over a 37-year
career, most recently for his work on the
Graving Dock 3 redesign effort.
The recipients were presented with
their awards by GD Chairman and CEO
Nicholas D. Chabraja, who thanked
them for their achievements and
expressed pride in the level of technical
accomplishment at General Dynamics.

Health Matters
Introducing Dr. Bob Hurley, Medical Director
Bob Hurley, MD
Medical Director
The medical director at the venerable Yard Hospital is a gentleman who goes by Bob and
sees himself as a resource for the working men and women of Electric Boat.
“Mr. Casey and Mr. Nardone brought me here to serve the workers. To that end, we
hope to help them understand health issues and perhaps give them time to discuss their
health concerns. We may have more time than their hurried and harried family doctor
might.
‘‘I see my current position as one in which I can be of service to the workers not only
from an occupational and environmental viewpoint but also as a family doctor and one
who has experience in musculoskeletal and rehabilitative medicine.”
Hurley brings a highly unusual skill set to the position. Both a chiropractor and a medical doctor, he was residency trained in Family Medicine at Brown University as well as
Occupational and Environmental Medicine at Boston University. In addition, he holds a
master’s of public health degree from Boston University. Prior to coming to Electric Boat,
Hurley was in private practice, hospital based medicine and corporate medicine, and held
positions as a disability consultant and as director of health for a large northeastern city.
I
f you asked every person at Electric Boat
whether cholesterol was good or bad,
most would answer, “Bad.” If you asked
why that is so, a smaller percentage would
answer that cholesterol clogs arteries and is a
component of heart disease. A question about
the different types of cholesterol would be
answered correctly by fewer still.
As you can see, there are varying levels of
understanding. Many who read this may have
answered some if not all of the questions correctly. In medicine, this natural progression of
information is referred to as “increasing a fund
of knowledge.” Going forward, your fund of
knowledge will be used to understand healthcare issues so you can make the best choices
for yourself and your family. The experts are in
agreement of one thing – the cost of healthcare will continue to rise. The more you know,
the better your choices will be.
We at the Yard Hospital hope to be a partner with you and
your doctor in educating you in:
■ Evidence-Based Medicine: Simply put, this is research that tells
doctors what works, what doesn’t, and why. You should know this particularly if you are on medications that are expensive but provide no
benefit or even worsen your health. We’ll talk about surgical procedures
and treatment pathways. For instance, should you go for an MRI in the
first two weeks of low back pain?
■ Prevention: We will report the latest findings and recommendations
of agencies such as the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force, the Food and
Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and others to
help you make informed choices. Are you adhering to the guidelines for
cancer prevention? Find out when we discuss the latest recommendations of preventive medicine.
■ FDA Notifications: Thinking of having an implantable stimulator
to treat chronic pain? Find out what the FDA says about these devices.
Taking oral Fentanyl? Do you know it could worsen your sleep disorder
and make the pain worse?
■ Health Improvement Tips: You’ve read a lot about diets. Which
is the right one for you? Maybe you don’t need to diet at all. Perhaps
changing the foods you eat and sticking with them might result in sustained weight loss and improved health.
These are just a few of the topics I’ll address in my monthly Electric

Col. Ted Larson shares
some of his experiences with fellow

and other 411 employees organized a lunch
to welcome Larson
home and raise money
for care packages that
will be sent to other
members of the military
in Iraq.
Engineering Department Supports Troops;
Welcomes One Of Its Own Back From Iraq
T
he Mexican holiday Cinco de
Mayo took on distinctly Americans overtones when Department 411 employees in Building 197 welcomed home supervisor Ted Larson, a
colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve who
had recently returned from duty in Iraq.
The setting was a taco-and-burrito
buffet, one of a series of lunches the
department has organized to raise the
money needed to buy items for troops
deployed in Iraq. Larson, who is finishing up his active-duty stint, was invited
after his co-workers learned he had
returned to the U.S.
During his time in Iraq, Larson kept
up regular e-mail correspondence with
his colleagues at work, who passed the
messages on to other employees in the
shipyard. As the commander of Combat
Service Support Group 15 at Camp
Taqaddum in Al Anbar Province, he was
responsible for processing food, water,
ammunition, spare parts and other supplies for about 10,000 troops in the area.
He was presented with the Bronze Star
for his service.
Larson was also responsible for distributing the telephone calling cards, video
discs, toiletries and other items sent to his
base by members of Department 411.
The items were bought with the proceeds of lunches organized by Bill
Dodge, with food supplied by other
department members. Additionally,
Owen O’Neill put out a jar and collected
additional cash, DVDs and phone cards.
Larson wasn’t the only Electric Boat-
related recipient of the care packages.
Eileen Harrington’s son, John David; Al
DeCelles’ son, Robert; and Dodge’s
brother-in-law, Rick Baltadonis, were
also on the receiving end of Department
411’s largesse.
Altogether, said Dodge, the department has raised $1,341. The 341 pounds
of gifts and supplies from home were
packed in 21 boxes by Dodge’s daughter,
Julianna, and members of her Girl Scout
Troup 5415 in Lebanon.

Observing Workers
Memorial Day
Local and state union representatives
lay wreaths at the Connecticut Workers Memorial in Groton’s Washington
Park last month as part of the annual
Workers Memorial Day ceremony.
From left are Chick McCombs, steward of IBEW Local 261 and chairman
of the Southeastern Connecticut Central Labor Council’s Workers Memorial
Committee; John Olsen, president of
the Connecticut AFL-CIO; John
Worobey, president of the MDA-UAW;
and Ken DelaCruz, president of the
MTC. The ceremony is held by organized labor in Connecticut every April
28, the anniversary of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s creation. The purpose of the ceremony is to remember those who have
suffered and died on the job.
